My approach to fashion and beauty is shaped by the fact I am stingy and lazy and I hate spending a lot of money, so I will endeavour to find you stuff that does the job and won't cost the earth.

I'll have none of your dogs and cats, or your budgies or guinea pigs -- frankly, they can all fuck off as long as bunnies are around.

I'm a 29-year-old female. I eat mainly vegan and eat lots of organic veggies. I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I have never done drugs. I've been diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, PCOS, life threatening allergies and -- for my last birthday -- I got a busted thyroid.

A little part of me fills up with glee when I see the increase in male grooming products. Then I think, "OH NO MEN! Not you too! We can't BOTH be the physically insecure sex."

This is definitely the best thing to come out of the UK since that Hovis advert about sliced bread.

He made me feel small and helpless, and 15 years later, I still shake with terror at the thought of feeling like that again.

My first thought was that I was going to be plagued by growths for the rest of my life. My lovely, textbook vagina would no doubt soon be riddled with fat, ugly warts, spreading beyond control.
